Self Care Sunday: Morning Inspirational Quotes About Change and Growth
Self Care Sunday can look different for everyone. For some, it’s journaling or a skincare routine. For others, it’s movement, stillness, or simply carving out a moment of peace. No matter where you are in your practice, often the hardest part is just getting started.
This week’s Self Care Sunday leans into Morning Inspirational Quotes — reminders that change is rarely easy, but always intentional. Growth asks for surrender, choice, courage, intention, and respect for time. Without these, transformation cannot take root.
1. Vulnerability and Growth
“If the seed constantly tries to save itself, a new life is impossible. The seed goes through the tremendous struggle of losing what it believes is its identity—losing its safety and integrity and becoming vulnerable in order to grow into a many-branched leafy tree, abundant in fruit and flower. But without that vulnerability, that voluntary openness to transformation, life won’t sprout.” — Sadhguru
2. Choice
“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances.” — Viktor Frankl
3. The Confrontation
“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” — James Baldwin
4. The Power of Intention
“Progress requires intention, decline only requires neglect. You don’t have to try to do worse to do worse… I don’t have to try to do worse, all I have to do is not try to do better. Put no intention into doing better and I will automatically do worse.” — Myron Golden
5. Time as a Gift
“‘If you knew Time as well as I do,’ said the Hatter, ‘you wouldn’t talk about wasting it.’” — Lewis Carroll
A Gentle Reminder
Change is not passive. It asks us to lean into discomfort, to make choices, to face truths, to act with intention, and to honor the time we’re given. This Sunday, may one of these words meet you where you are — a spark to lift you, steady you, or simply remind you that growth is always within reach.
